1 Treatment of PTSD in Children
2 Why Treat PTSD in Kids? Distress & Disabling Impairs Functioning Development Affected Co- morbid Problems Chronicity
3 Limited research on Child PTSD Treatment Combined approach to treatment Cognitive Behavioural Therapy Psychotherapy Drugs
4 Aim of PTSD Treatment Relieve Distress Reduce Impairment Resume Development Prevent Co-morbidities Prevent Chronic Disorders
5 Essential Components of Treatment Psycho-education Stress Management Direct Exploration of Trauma Exploration & Correction of inaccurate attributions Parental Involvement Drug Treatment
6 Psychoeducation Symptoms of PTSD Course of Untreated PTSD Rationale of Treatment Treatment Goals Treatment Components
7 Relaxation Techniques Gain control over thoughts & feelings Give confidence & Increase capacity to explore trauma Handle Re-experiencing phenomena
8 Direct Exploration of Trauma Encourage child to relax & describe event with diminished hyper-arousal and negative affective states. Expose child to the phobic stimulus in a safe and supportive environment & help gain mastery over trauma
9 Identify, Challenge and Reconsider negative cognitive attributions related to trauma such as It was my fault, The world is not a safe place
10 Parental involvement Parents issues & distress resolved so they are perceptive & responsive to child s emotional needs. Parents learn behavioural strategies to help child deal with trauma.
11 Drug Treatment In Paediatric PTSD
12 Studies have shown that stress or trauma affects different neurotransmitter, neuro-endocrine systems and neuroanatomical structures
13 Why Drugs for PTSD? Evidence of medication efficacy in adults Comorbid conditions respond well to drugs Failed Response to CBT Neurobiological abnormalities noted in Child PTSD
14 No randomized, double blind, placebo-controlled clinical trials in drug treatment of Childhood PTSD. Cohen et al 95 % who treat childhood PTSD use drugs together with psychodynamic and cognitive behavioural therapy
15 Drugs for PTSD Drugs treat symptom clusters of PTSD and and co-morbid disorders Usually adjunct No / Partial response to Psychotherapy Severe Symptoms ( agitation, aggression, anxiety, insomnia, depression or self mutilation)
16 Chronic, Disabling PTSD Disabling Co-morbid conditions No Access to Psychosocial Treatments Treating even 1 disturbing, disabling PTSD symptom can bring great relief & improve child s functioning
17 Drug Treatment Alleviate distressing symptoms that interfere with daily functioning and / hinder psychotherapy Treat co-morbid disorders such as depression, anxiety, panic, ADHD
18 Choice of drug tailored to patient s needs, concerns & preferences Broad-spectrum drugs to target a range of symptoms Specific drugs targeting specific co-morbid conditions Drug Combinations
19 Drugs in Childhood PTSD Adrenergic Agents Dopiminergic Agents Serotonergic Agents Mood Stabilisers
20
21 Amydala & Normal stress Integrate multimodal sensory information & attaches emotional valence to it Triggers stress response Amydala hyper-responsiveness in veterans in response to fear stimuli compared to controls
22 HPA & PTSD Increased cortisol levels in Child PTSD Stress stimulates HPA Axis & increases cortisol levels Cortisol helps in Stress Excess Cortisol Toxic to Hippocampus
23 Trauma & Neuroanatomical Damage Hippocampal damage affects emotional regulation, learning, memory Trauma affects Prefrontal Cortex PFC Damage Poor Judgement, Impulsivity, Fear response
24 Children with PTSD - Lower intracranial, corpus callosum volume than carefully matched controls - Co-related with age & duration of abuse ( DeBellis et al,1999) Trauma Toxic to Brain Development Early, Effective Intervention Vital
25 Noradrenaline / Adrenaline & Normal Stress NE Release from Amydala, Locus Coerulus, PFC, Hypothalamus & Hippocampus Sympathetic arousal, anxiety, frontal lobe activation, mood regulation, thinking & perception.
26 Activates Flight or Fight Response Increases Cortisol production In PTSD, sustained,increased adrenergic tone & reactivity Hyperarousal symptoms in PTSD
27 Adrenergic Agents Alpha 2 agonist Clonidine, Guanfacine Beta antagonist Propranalol Adrenergic agents mainly target Re-experiencing and Hyperarousal symptoms
28 Perry et al 17 PTSD children had improvement in anxiety, concentration, mood & impulsivity with low doses of clonidine Famularo et al Propranolol reduced symptoms significantly in 8/11 abused children with PTSD.
29 Serotonin System and PTSD Involved in satiety, mood, aggression, anxiety, impulsive compulsive behaviours PTSD - aggression, obsessive, intrusive thoughts, substance abuse, panic, dissociative symptoms, flashbacks may be due to serotonin disturbance
30 Serotonin System and PTSD Comorbid conditions of PTSD ( depression, suicidality ) also mediated by serotonin SSRIs - Prozac, Sertraline, Paroxetine Most commonly used first line drug in Childhood PTSD
31 SSRI Drugs & Trauma Have broad-spectrum action on mood, anxiety & obsessive, compulsive symptoms Safe & well tolerated Reduce re-experiencing, anxiety, panic, mood symptoms Side effects GIT symptoms, headache, insomnia, sleepiness
32 Dopamine System in Stress Amydala excitation increases Dopamine release from PFC & other sites Sexually abused girls,abused children with PTSD have increased urinary DA & DA metabolites ( Debellis et al, 1999)
33 Stress & Dopamine Dopamine excess causes Prefrontal Cortex under-activity & failure to extinguish conditioned fear responses, hyper-vigilance & paranoia Dopamine blocking drugs help hyper-vigilant, agitated & paranoid PTSD patients
34 . Dopaminergic agents Olanzepine, Risperidone & quetiapine used in severe PTSD cases Horrigan & Barnhill, /18 kids with PTSD & high rates of co-morbid psychiatric disorders, had remission of symptoms with Risperidone
35 Side Effects Rigidity, Bradykinesia Acute dystonia, Akathesia, Tardive dyskinesia Limited to severe PTSD - psychotic symptoms, severe aggression, intense flashbacks,self destructive behaviour
36 Anticonvulsants Carbamazepine, Sodium valproate Carbamazepine labile mood, anger, flashbacks, nightmares, intrusive memories, sleep disturbance Sodium Valproate avoidance, numbing, hyperarousal, sleep difficulties, anger, rage
37 Tricyclic antidepressants & Venlafaxine Benzodiazepines - addictive potential, rebound effects Lithium Methylphenidate & Bupropion ( ADHD)
38 Endogenous Opiate System Stress releases endorphins from substantia nigra & mesolimbic regions Causes pain analgesia In PTSD, excessive endorphins may lead to psychic numbing Endorphins raised in combat veterans with PTSD
39 Opiate Antagonists Glower, 1992 Naltrexone reduced numbing but not PTSD symptoms, worsen in some others In Child PTSD, self injurious behaviour ( SIB ) common Naltrexone may be helpful in reducing SIB
40 Drug Treatment in Childhood PTSD Assess Target PTSD & Comorbid symptoms Treat & Monitor response & Progress Add Additional Drugs if necessary
41 Drug Treatment in Childhood PTSD May need to treat Comorbid conditions prior to or concurrent with CBT for PTSD Consider pre-morbid history, medical conditions
42 Stress & Amydala Locus Coerulus Noradrenaline Hypothalamus Hypothalamo- Pituitary Axis Ventral Tegmentum Dopamine release to Prefrontal cortex Central Grey Matter Conditioned freezing
